  • What does the social power heirarchy in the United States look like? What are the different classes?

    Jump

  • Utah has some weirdness about it but they’re nice and have amazing parks. My culture (New Orleans) is pretty far from Utahn's but it’s fine. We’re all sincere and nice and don’t expect to be understood. I don’t want to live in Provo and they probably think I’m a shiftless, drunken buffoon (fair; I am that). But nice people enjoy antics here and there. I enjoy people who got all their vitamins and have morals here and there. We have no problem breaking bread.

    Jump

  • Class. The news pretends otherwise but material conditions are, if not everything, a lot. There’s no House of Lords where we store our drunken perverts but it’s similar to England.

    It gets different the further you are from DC. Money is always involved but no one in Oregon gives a shit what you wear and lots of places in the South and West make folk heroes out of hard working and even rebellious people. (Rebellious in this case can be good resistance or just the worst shit ever.)

  • NVIDIA are investing $5 billion in Intel to develop new chips together

    Jump

  • Do you do that enough to justify Nvidia’s stock price? I sometimes ask it stupid questions as a novelty but that isn’t something worth paying for.

    Jump

  • Nvidia should sign every long term contract possible. It’s the most valuable company on Earth but few people actually use A.I. and Switch 2 sales aren’t going to justify the price.

    I’m not saying A.I. is worthless. It can never live up to the hype and most consumers don’t have datasets. Something incredibly useful for medical science and astronomy is not really fit for purpose elsewhere.

  • ABC Affiliate Owner Demands Jimmy Kimmel Make Charlie Kirk Donation

    Jump

  • Oh, thank you for the correction. I just did a cursory look and didn’t see them being involved.

  • Tiffany Trump Cruised on an Oil Mogul’s Yacht as Her Father-in-Law Talked Oil Deals

    Jump

  • Normally, I’d be outraged but I sort of feel bad for Tiffany. Outrage is there too but I feel bad for her. She’s clearly the red headed stepchild of the known Trumpitos. We all joke about how Trump has a crush on Ivanka. Tiffany doesn’t even get that.

  • It’s not Sinclair this time but it’s just as bad. Nexstar wants to merge with Tegna and create a new Sinclair, basically.

  • What do you think is the best (and cheapest) way to host a new nextcloud instance and website for my local scouts organisation?

    Jump

  • Linode. I don’t trust the parent company but who can you trust? It’s super easy to setup and like $5 a month for a small scale project that isn’t mission critical.

    Note: I would never use it for a paid or really important thing. If you expect your Boy Scout group to have 50,000 users one day, it’s not fit for purpose. It’s more than fine for a little league schedule or whatever.

  • Oracle, Silver Lake consortium to control 80% stake in TikTok in US, WSJ reports

    Jump

  • It’s true. The Bronze Age collapse even blames “sea peoples.” They weren’t singing Rihanna. It was sea shanties keeping morale high.

  • Louisiana Republican demands social media companies delete anti-Charlie Kirk posts & ban users

    Jump

  • He can come to New Orleans if he wants to find out. All this bluster and can’t even take a street car 7 blocks or whatever.

  • Lemmy, what is your "I'm calling it now" prediction for the next 10 years?

    Jump

  • Oracle, Silver Lake consortium to control 80% stake in TikTok in US, WSJ reports

    Jump

  • They’re gonna make everyone download a new app that’s just for Americans so have fun with that. What sort of cool teen is excited about an OracleTok where they replaced Brazilian models with SQL lessons and propaganda chosen by a bunch of old ass fascists?

    Man cannot live off sea shanties alone. We’ve proven that twice now. That’s why the meme went away and 18th century mutinies happened.

  • Do you think you can become a benevolent dictator without ever getting corrupted or turn evil?

    Jump

  • I’d like to think so. When we read 1984 in high school, a friend and I were studying together. I remember saying (in my naïveté), “I loved the book and I get the history but why would you want to be in charge of a place that sucks?” She was like, “You’re just going to have to get used to the fact that a lot of people care about power more than beaches.”

    Well, I still think those people are foolish. I’d rather be in charge of my own tiny slice of paradise than rule over some wack ass dictatorship where everyone else is miserable. Not wanting to be in charge is probably the basic pre-requisite for being a benevolent dictator. I like to cook for people and stuff. I’d use my power and wealth to do that.

    That being said, I’m a dirtbag. I’d have a cool house somewhere with mountain and ocean views. Probably 3 or 4 beauty queens who also have Ms. Congeniality pageant sashes who are in charge of laughing at my jokes and charming me. No more than one or two rhythmic gymnastics teams that delight us all by throwing ribbons to each other with their feet. (Other apparatuses are cool too. Hula hoop. Clubs. Ball. Variety is the spice of life.)

  • Supreme Court rules that immigration raids in LA can continue

  • RIP US Democracy (aged 1965 or so to 1980 something). We hardly knew ye.

  • Is Trump Inciting a Civil War 2.0 to Steal the Midterms?

    Jump

  • Imagine the piss pant stains if Trump supporters were forced to take the Metro or a street car to occupy a major city. Any civil war would have to have a regional hub with microwave pancakes and ionized water at their neighborhood (now closed) Bed Bath and Beyond for whatever moron troop movements anyone planned.

    To be clear, I hope people who think little kids should be exposed to diphtheria to find out who is trans don’t rise up. But they won’t win a whole war even if they cause more human suffering than every “East India” company combined.

  • Trump loses bid to overturn $83.3 million judgment in E. Jean Carroll defamation case

    Jump

  • America was founded by tobacco companies and people so weird about religion, they were told to leave Europe even though mass communication wasn’t invented yet and they probably could have just been slightly less weird a kilometer away. Our justice system was probably always going to favor disgraced sex pests.

  • Who can get a COVID vaccine—and how? It’s complicated.

    Jump

  • I got one at a CVS in Louisiana but had to have my doctor call in a prescription. Insurance covered it. There’s also apparently some weird supply issues. A colleague (who is over 65 and clearly eligible) had an appointment at a large hospital and they told her they were out of COVID vaccines but had plenty of flu shots. She was ultimately able to reschedule and get a Pfizer shot but they were still out of the Moderna one and whatever the non-mRNA shot is called.

    It all sort of smacks of disorganization (possibly deliberate incompetence considering we have a loon with brain worms in the driver’s seat). But it seems like some people are having access issues and other people just waltz into a Walgreens/CVS and get their booster in minutes.

  • Mamdani, AOC and other DSA members should leave party: Dem Rep. Tom Suozzi insists

    Jump

  • Well, the good news is that we all know centrists will side with capital. The last step before fascism is almost always cowardly centrists trying and failing to maintain their shreds of status in a world they can’t understand because they lack a binding moral framework.

    That’s actually the bad news, I guess. But at least we know it’s coming.
